In this course, I was taught to develop a greater understanding for ways in which marketers can use digital marketing tools to further an online brand or increase traffic volumes. Additionally, I was introduced to a variety of ways in which companies currently utilize social media platforms as an integrative communication tool.

Final Thoughts
This course has provided me with a better grasp on the importance that digital marketing has on the success of a company’s overall marketing efforts. In the future, I will utilize the knowledge I’ve gained when considering my own entrepreneurial ventures. My only suggestions for further improvement of this course would be for a greater emphasis to be put on the application of subjects, as a great portion of the workload was theoretical in nature.
